Chiropractic, meaning “done by hand”, is a health profession
specializing in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders
of the neuromusculoskeletal (nerve, muscle and joint) system and the affects of
these disorders on the function of the nervous system and general health

How I Treat:

I use what I learnt at university as a foundation for my
Chiropractic care that I give to patients. I learnt that the most
important thing is to look for the source of a person’s pain or what a person’s
lifestyle is and how it can be improved for better health. This is why I place
an emphasis on body awareness.

Body awareness is the understanding of where your body is in
space. If you don’t have this then you could be doing things all day and
sleeping at night in the least optimal way. For example you could have a bad
posture, be sleeping in a poor way or exercise in an incorrect way.

I always look at every person individually and see what are the
needs of this person and give them care that tailors to them having addressed
all aspects of their health and life to give them the best comprehensive
treatment possible.

What I
Treat:

It is
misconception that a Chiropractor only helps with back and neck pain.

I
treat many conditions throughout the body including:

·Back & Neck Pain

·Headaches, Migraines &
Sinusitis

·TMJ disorders (Jaw Pain)

·Sports Injuries

·Ligament Sprains

·Muscle Strains

·Tendonitis & Tendinosis

·Fasciitis

·Posture Disorders

Who I
Treat:

·Children

·Pregnant Women

·Office & Factory
Workers

·The Elderly

·Athletes

·Anyone Who Wants To
Have/Maintain A Healthy Body & Lifestyle

Techniques:

I use a combination of treatment techniques in a relaxed setting including:

My Role As A Therapist

After 35 years of experience in the field, I would say that a person who makes the first contact and asks to be in therapy actually is ready for a change, ready to improve his or her well-being and better his or her life. My role as a therapist is to use professional tools to facilitate the change, to change old sets of perceptions about the self and others with new sets of perceptions. Every person has a subjective world of experiences and therefore, every person needs specific, particular tools to promote the change. Treatment is a challenging journey of changes in perceptions of the internal world and the outer world, the journey in which there is a process toward a healthier and better life.

Background

After completing my B.A. and M.A. in Social Work at the University of Southern California (USC), I became actively involved in the Jewish and Israeli communities in Los Angeles, which was a very rewarding experience. I felt I was contributing to the bonding of the two communities. However, in my work with patients in the Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles, I felt that I hadn’t the extensive knowledge required to really bring about change. Therefore, I decided to continue my education toward a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the California Graduate Institute (CGI) with a psychoanalytic orientation.

After completion of my Ph.D., I did a post-doctorate with Robert Stolorow, Ph.D., the global leading authority in Intersubjective Systems Theory. The knowledge that I gained from him made me feel that I had finally acquired the depth and expertise that would enable me to truly help patients achieve the changes they desired. Over the years, Dr. Stolorow became my supervisor and mentor and is my guiding voice to this very day, especially when I am dealing with a patient with deep psychological issues. My relationship with him enables us to consult and brainstorm together on appropriate therapeutic interventions.

My Treatment

Since 1983, I have been practicing psychology using the Intersubjective Systems Theory. I use this treatment modality for individuals with various conditions, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, relationship issues, etc. I am available to see couples and families privately as well. In addition, I treat bereave families through the Ministry of Defense and terror victims through National Insurance (Bituach Leumi).

What is the Intersubjective Systems Theory?

The basic idea is that no person lives in isolation. Every individual is part of a system, and in fact, of many systems, defined by various common terms such as family, couple, mother-child, teacher-student, to name a few. In order to understand an individual’s behavior, we must understand the systems in which the individual functions, together with the subjective experience of each member within each system. The degree to which a system is healthy or unhealthy results from the role of each part of the system (i.e., each individual in the system).

This means that a healthy system can only be established by each individual examining themselves and their behavior within the system, “Am I responding adequately to my (spouse, child, friend, employer, etc.)?” In other words, we must focus on ourselves and try to adapt our behavior in relation to other individual(s) in the system.

It’s important to emphasize that every individual’s perception of the world is based on experiences from early infancy and throughout life, which shapes their individual world view (defined as their “organizing principles”). In order to improve a system, we need to identify the organizing principles that influence their behavior, especially in cases when this behavior causes friction or conflict. In other words, the ideal way to improve a system is for each member to take responsibility for his or her own actions. When one part of the system changes, the entire system will change as a result.

Hello and thank you for visiting.

When deciding upon a therapist to work with, it is especially important to feel a connection with the therapist you choose.I strongly believe that the capacity for healing is deeply rooted in interpersonal connections.My goal as a Psychotherapist is to create a safe and supportive environment where freedom of expression is encouraged and embraced.

I utilize an integrated approach and strengths-based perspective in the treatment of clients suffering with depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and/or complex trauma. I am well trained in assessments, diagnostics, crisis interventions, and ongoing clinical treatment.

My style is comprehensive and holistic. I have a passion for REBT, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness practices to enhance and sustain mental health across a continuum of care.

Both my personal and professional experience allows me to be an extremely compassionate and culturally competent therapist. I possess a strong work ethic and am committed to the values of my profession.

My affiliations with the American Institute of Cognitive Therapy as well as with the Albert Ellis Institute in New York has enriched my approach and brought excellent results with clientele.

Additionally, I am a strong motivator and supporter of self- empowerment as a means to true fulfillment and self-actualization. I also have extensive experience with goal planning(career or otherwise) assertiveness training, and/or career development.

Hello,

For many, the decision to seek counseling is often made during a stressful time and although challenging this time can serve as an opportunity that can lead to lasting change and greater life satisfaction.

Through counseling, you will learn to identify and appreciate your strengths, as you change the things in your life that keep you from living to your full potential.

You are invited to contact Dr. Bakst-- a bilingual (American/Israeli) therapist/life coach and licensed psychotherapist.

You will receive a free 10 minute free phone consultation and a meeting will then be scheduled in Tel Aviv.

Working with families, teens and young adults for over 26 years, I find that my warm and informal approach has allowed my clients and their families to feel at home from the first moment they meet me.

With a background in Addictions and Art Therapy I enjoy using creative strategies to assist my clients in sharing openly, communicating with their family members and developing ways to deal with their issues through action oriented tools.
